William Rand, founder of the International Center for Reiki Training defines Reiki as,  A Japanese technique of deep relaxation and stress reduction that also promotes healing.

What is Reiki?

Simply put, Reiki is a light touch method of deep relaxation that promotes healing.  And although Reiki is simple, it is very profound.  Reiki is best described as a high frequency energy that breaks up energetic blocks in the body to promote balance and harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

How Does it Work?

Reiki is performed by a practitioner placing their hands on, or slightly above their client in a series of non-invasive hand positions. During a session, Reiki energy is channeled by and flows through the hands of the practitioner and into the energy body of the client.  As a truly holistic healing method, the whole person is treated, rather than specific areas.

Reiki will support the body to heal itself by clearing out energy blocks – physically, mentally, and spiritually.  Reiki will cleanse the body and mind and will revitalize and restore power to the physical and spiritual body.  Reiki works on the body as a whole, balancing the emotions, bringing clarity to the mind and reconnecting to the 'true self' which in turn impacts your physical well-being.

What do Reiki sessions feel like?

Reiki sessions are very individual and each person experiences reiki differently.   reiki energy is intuitive and intelligent, it will always flow where it is needed most. Most individuals experience deep relaxation.  Some experience reiki as sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colors.  Others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing balance to be restored.

Why does distance Reiki work?

Energy healings can be offered remotely and are equally as powerful and effective as in-person sessions. Here are 4 reasons why Distant Reiki works:

1. Our energies are intermingled and boundless. Individual auras are connected and we’re essentially a grid of energies. The separation between beings is only on the physical level. Energetically and spiritually, we are one.

2. Since energy travels with intention, and intentions create reality, we can reshape our inner and outer wellbeing with the power of our own mind and heart. By simply intending to support others, life force begins to flow.

3. Reiki practitioners are attuned to the distance healing symbol which allows them to send reiki across time and space. With the sacred mantra and symbol, Reiki practitioners awaken to their interconnectedness and drop the illusion of separation between beings.

4. Consider that there are a host of things that we cannot see but we know they exist. For example, we cannot see wi-fi, radio or cellular phone signals but we experience their presence. Similarly, most people may not physically see or comprehend how Reiki travels, but they can feel it’s presence.
